12 July 2011

Today Nikon announced the latest addition to their lens line-up, the DX-format Nikkor 40mm f/2.8 G macro lens. It boasts a true 1:1 reproduction ratio, minimum focusing distance of 0.163m (from focal plain) and a large maximum aperture of f2.8, making it a promising lens for capturing close-up details as well as portraits.

From Nikon Europe Product Manager, Zurab Kiknadze:

"This specialised macro lens lets you capture intricate details that are impossible to capture with a regular kit lens. It’s an affordable way to discover the world of macro photography and is even versatile enough not to limit photographers to that particular subject."
